National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute (NABI) is an autonomous Institute under the
Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. NABI aims at catalyzing the
transformation of the Agri-food sector in India by being a nodal organization for
knowledge generation and translational science leading to value-added products based
on Agri-Food biotech innovations for improved household nutritional security. Since its
inception in 2010, NABI is involved in research activities for Biofortification, the
development of designer crops for improved nutrition, providing sustainable and novel
solutions for quality food and nutrition, and the development of evidence-based
functional foods to counter malnutrition. The food and nutritional Biotechnology
